I just did this last night for the purpose of promoting debian to my gf. To do so, they say to add deb http://kde.tdyc.com potato main crypto optional qt1apps or the miror deb http://kde.rap.ucar.edu potato main crypto optional qt1apps
to your /etc/apt/source.list---but I needed to append /debian to the URL, and didn't use the words crypto, optional, or qa1apps (but never tried either). After that, apt-get update, then I believe I did apt-get install kdebase konqueror konsole and startx startkde after terminating xdm. The new KDE is pretty and crisp, but I really like wmaker. note, this is as I recall so there may be a few tweaks or such required...check the ftp site for filenames and directory structure. have fun rick Adam Shand writes: > > i just tried to switch from windowmaker (which i've been using for > years) to kde2. i did: > > # apt-get install task-kde > # echo "startkde" > ~/.xsession > # startx > > when i run kde most things won't run and i get a lot of segfaults. when i > open the control panel there's nothing in there. no modules, no icons. > when i try and run konquerer (really the reason i'm trying kde cause i'm > sick of netscape) it won't even start. > > is this something that has a known fix? i'm running a mostly woody system > (it was pototo but large chucks of it have been upgraded as needed). > > adam. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
